I read this because of the book's massive popularity, despite my somewhat lukewarm feelings about the first installment. That and my interest in seeing how the relationship between Alec and Magnus Bane plays out. The story is generally interesting and the writing is adequate if not inspired.
However, even after the second book, the characters lack depth and any strong appeal. To use a term that you'd find in the books themselves, the characters are kinda "Mundane." I am still interested in seeing how this story plays out and I'll most likely read the third book when I encounter it but I'm not gonna rush out and buy it.
